It’s Staff Spotlight time again! This week, we highlight Melinda Dyamod, a paraprofessional at Main Elementary.
Melinda has been with the district for ten years and is so grateful to be a member of the Creek family. She loves making memories at BCS and has so many that she couldn’t choose just one to highlight as her favorite. When it comes to her career, she says Ashley Kitchen has been the most influential person.
When not busy at work, Melinda enjoys being with her family, enjoying the outdoors, and trying new foods from different cultures.
We are very lucky to have Melinda as a part of our district! 🧡🖤 #BCSstaffspotlight

Congratulations to Coach Schweikert for giving a great presentation on how to build a successful middle school track & field program. Over the weekend, he presented at the Ohio Association of Track and Cross Country Coaches (OATCCC) track clinic in Columbus.
If you don't already know him, meet Mr. Seilhamer! He is this week's Staff Spotlight.
Mr. Seilhamer is a 7th and 8th-grade science teacher at Ankeney Middle School and the head girls' basketball coach. He has spent 22 years in the district already.
When asked who has been the most influential person in his career, he said, "My wife and kids because I never want to let them down."
About his students, he hopes they can learn from him how to be kind and empathic because you never know what someone else might be going through.
If there is one thing he wishes more people knew about BCS, it is how much our staff goes above and beyond to provide a great learning experience for all our students.
Join us at Ferguson Hall at 6:30 p.m. this Friday for a Nationals Send-Off for our Beavercreek High School Dance Team! These ladies are heading to Orlando to compete in the UDA National Dance Team Championships on February 2-4 at Walt Disney World Resort.
Congratulations to our middle school wrestlers who won the Williamsburg Tournament over the weekend! Great job, wrestlers. 🤼
Today, we highlight Brian Shively, our transportation administrative assistant for our staff spotlight.
Brian has worked for BCS for five years, and within that time, he credits Transportation Supervisor Lindy Shumaker as the person who has been most influential in his career.
He hopes students can learn two things from him: patience and kindness. Also, if there is one thing Brian hopes more people know about our district, it would be the array of opportunities our students have here, ranging from music, athletics, academic teams, and social clubs to numerous other activities.
We are incredibly grateful to have Brian as a member of the Creek family!
Due to the current road conditions, BCS will be closed today, Friday, January 19. Be safe and have a great weekend.
Meet Alexis! Alexis is a freshman at Ferguson Hall, and this is her first year on the wrestling team. With two pins already under her belt, we are excited to see what her future holds! Keep up the excellent work, Alexis! #CreekPride 🧡🖤🤼♀️

This is a reminder that there will be no school on Monday, January 15th, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
This week's staff spotlight is Dustin Ferguson! Dustin is our physical education teacher at Trebein Elementary.
Dustin has been a member of the Creek family for 19 years, and throughout his career, he has been most influenced by Principal Lisa Walk.
He hopes his students get excited to come to his class every day and leave feeling that they are cared for and with a better understanding that living a healthy lifestyle can be fun!
He also wishes more people could see how well Beavercreek employees collaborate and how much of a family atmosphere there is throughout the entire district. 🧡🖤
Congrats Dustin!
On Saturday, January 6, during the BCS Board of Education Annual Organizational Meeting, Jo Ann Rigano was nominated and elected Board President for the 2024 school year. Krista Hunt was nominated and elected Board Vice President.
This week, we highlight Ashley Bieller, a member of the student nutrition team at Shaw Elementary.
Although Ashley began her BCS career only a few months ago, she says that recently retired student nutrition operations manager Dawn Kacvinsky has been the most influential person in her career since joining our team.
If there is one thing Ashley hopes more people know about Beavercreek City Schools, it would be that we have a great community and awesome staff. She also hopes to influence our students by teaching them to be happy, healthy, and kind.
We are thrilled to have Ashley as a member of the Creek family!
Join us in recognizing Chris Stein for his four years of dedication and service to Beavercreek City Schools as a Board of Education member. Chris' term will conclude at the end of the year, December 31.
Thank you, Chris! 🧡🖤
This week's staff spotlight is Lukas Schweikert, our freshmen world history teacher and middle school cross country and track coach. ⭐⭐⭐
Lukas has been teaching in the district for two years and coaching for five. He says two of his favorite quotes are "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift" and Mr. Roger's quote, "You make each day a special day by just you being you." He believes every student is unique and has their own special gifts. As long as they give their best, every day of teaching is a special and fantastic day.
Lukas also says that many individuals have influenced his career. "As a Beavercreek grad, Class of 2012, many teachers in the district directly influenced how I teach and coach. To name a few, Mr. Enneking, Mrs. Ford, Mr. Vinson, Mr. Dave Miller, Mr. Cusick, Mr. Ahrns, and Mr. Schaadt all helped instill my love of history and how to teach it. Mrs. Group, Mr. Group, Ms. Egan, Mrs. Pope, Mr. Willets, Frau Humphrey, Mrs. Russ, Mrs. Nartker, Mr. Wegley, and Mrs. McDaniel showed me the importance of student relationships and how they foster educational growth. These teachers showed that if you care about a student, they will push themselves to learn. I would be remiss if I did not mention my actual family, my DPS family, and my Ferguson family (shoutout to Mr. Kelly, Mr. Anderson, and Mr. Gilbert for being the best social studies department!)
